Sunshine finally returns

A major change in fortune from the dreary, wet weekend in south Louisiana with the sun making a much-appreciated return to Acadiana for the start of the work week.

Even with clear skies temperatures will remain cool as colder air rushes into the region with winds coming in from the north, and remaining breezy through the majority of the day.

So while the thermometer will read the low 60s it will feel slightly colder outside and if you're in the wind and the shade it may actually be quite chilly outside during the afternoon.

Winds will relax once the sun sets and that combined with the clearing skies will result in a cold night across Acadiana, and while temperatures will stay above freezing lows will get down into the 30s.

The rest of the week will be just as quiet with a chilly day on Tuesday but plenty of sunshine for the first half of the week.

As the weekend inches closer and closer the eyes remain down toward the tropics as we wait to see what this disturbed region in the Gulf of Mexico will end up doing the next few days. Chances for further development have increased to an 80% over the next five days.
